The Chicago Fund for Safe and Peaceful Communities

Together, we can empower communities, strengthen relationships and build trust across Chicago.

We believe in equity, fairness and opportunity.

Now accepting donations for Summer 2019

Donors to this Fund also are engaged in larger, long-term efforts to help address the problem of violence prevention and community safety. What makes this Fund different from those efforts is that its intended purpose is to provide highly-targeted, immediate support to smaller, neighborhood-based groups over the summer of 2019.

Together, we can create more peaceful communities.

Grants from the Chicago Fund for Safe and Peaceful communities support community-based organizations to create the conditions for violence prevention and reduction in our city. Grant awards will be announced around May 13, 2019.
